If sport psychology hasn't worked for you before, that'sbecause few, if any, sport psychs use the most up-to-date psychologies; they're Blockbuster sport psychs, not Netflix ones.

​

To be so accurate Blockbuster sport psychologists can only measure tiny, minute micro-dots and there is little sense of how to connect them: to the body as a whole, to each other or to everyday real-life, all of which is what counts.

​

Netflix, or the most progressive psychologies join with sociology for a deeper understanding of how everyday real-life effects us—in theoretical, rigorous, evidence-based ways—reveals many unseen “things” holding even the very best athletes back: hence Broader Thinking.

​

For example:

- Numbers and data are not necessarily bad, but can just as easily restrict performance because this data-technology gives control to something else:

..as much mental "dependence"... as mental "toughness".

- Training mental skills is also not necessarily bad but an just as easily give athletes more not less to think about:

..as much mental "paralysis"... as mental "freedom".

- Mental toughness, discipline or increasing motivation is also not bad, but never having met an athlete that wanted to do badly, any mis-placed intensity can easily overlook important cues: ..as much mental "stubbornness"... as mental "clarity". ​

​

We don't do mental skills or counselling because we don't believe athletes are the problems they often think they are: we broaden awareness.

FRESH, UNIQUE AND PIONEERING

SPORT PSYCHO/SOCIOLOGY & PERFORMANCE

This has been the best class offered to us at the entire school because it's changed what I thought was possible.

For every winner many, many more athletes don't succeed, and who is to say those winners couldn't have won by more? So be careful copying! Take a look at these confusing sporting questions as yet more examples. How will you do better? If you're not sure, contact us.

- While ‘proper-preparation-prevents-VERY-poor-performance’ and athletes have a raft of technologies helping; robotic, stale, careless

and thoughtless performances are endemic.

​

- Athletes are often taught to 'get in the zone' by stopping thought or ‘letting it happen’: processes that require thought!
